To The One In Sky

Hammad Rais

I look upon you and see nothing but light
You are burning for so long

https://flic.kr/p/Aipr1N

The world you light up is in huge debt
Yet you never asked for a return

https://flic.kr/p/AjvhW9

Sometimes you hide and sometimes you don’t
But you warmth remains the same

https://flic.kr/p/A47vu7

Those dark nights aren’t meant forever
You defeat them up with one might strike

https://flic.kr/p/AipryS

These castles in the sky are your friend
For us down below, you are the king

https://flic.kr/p/zoEReU

On the brightest day, you are supreme
Making our lives shine, for days to come

      It’s been a long time since I have seen a morning sky like this again. These snaps are my favorite. Thank you so much for liking them 🙂

    This comes from practising blogging and writing every day. When you get the technique and you are gifted, words come and they seem to flow effortlessly. You are gifted. Therefore the words came like a flock of birds…

    The text and your pictures are a wonderful blend. One of your best poetical/philosophical post. It may be taken as an homage to the sun or as a kind of metaphor for One who is in the Elsewhere – the Light. This is really very good and I shall keep it by me.

      Thank you, Camille. If I remember correctly, then I took these pictures back in 2014 on a Saturday morning or was it a Sunday morning. Don’t remember 🙂
      Anyway, I was browsing through my collection yesterday and noticed that I haven’t shared them up. I took many pictures on that morning and shared few earlier but not these. So I picked them up. The text was spontaneous as I looked at the pictures and those words flew from my mind to my fingers.
      Strange!!
